Not only was Tuckahoe Station a stop between Philadelphia and Cape May for vacationers, it was also a hub for produce and grains, connecting the seashore with the city.

In the 1800s, Tuckahoe, New Jersey was alive with the sounds of commerce. One major industry was ship-building, and ships provided the opportunity for trade in glass and iron. Glass was manufactured beside the banks of the Tuckahoe River and shipped downstream to markets all over the Eastern seaboard. The Aetna Furnace worked full-tilt to provide nails and other iron necessities. There was even a steam boat that traveled the river for diversion on Sunday picnics.
